[ESS] Fwd: Special characters in graphic interface

[Vincent Goulet]

I had the same problem as François in the past. I observed that the little 
squares would not show up in a graphic created with Sweave, so used it as a 
workaround. It never occurred to me that ESS could be at fault. 

So, out of sheer curiosity, how/where is ESS involved in this problem? I would 
think that the commands to create the graph are just passed to R and that, 
from then on, anything happening to the graph would be R's fault.

Thanks in advance for enlighting me.
